My son got married this weekend. There was a lot of anxiety over me seeing my XH with OW. She didn't come. She said she would be uncomfortable....hahaha...duh!

My dil and I are coming off the elevator...there is a man standing to get on. He said "hi"...we said "hi' and walked on. When we got to the parking lot my dil asked if I felt awkward...I said why?? She said that was XH...holy crap I didn't even recognize him!!! All gray and old looking :)

Next we go to pictures...I sought out ex and told him I didn't recognize him or I would have visited...we made comfortable small talk about the kids and grand daughter.

At the wedding...XH sat by himself...I sat with my SO. At the reception...XH stood in the back...Me, SO, family and friends have a great time dancing and playing around.

Next day I get an email from XH...says he had a "WOW" moment...said I have never, ever looked happier and he just knows he has never made me that happy. He was glad to see me.

That my friends is VINDICATION....yes I looked happy...yes I had on a smoking hot black dress...yes I am fun. Sad moment for him.

I almost feel sorry...I had my wow moment over 5 years ago when I caught him with her. Sucks to be him right now!

That's the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good life

Real love is a CHOICE, NOT a feeling...

Dang! That is a heck of a downhill slide if he is unrecognizable just 5 years later!

Yay on having your moment! How much better off he would have been if he wasn't such a sad POS who ruined all of his blessings!
